Sophie Esinberg’s POV
I did a good job in hiding it with my hair as I withdrew the band from my pony and let my hair loose. Then Mom came with some candles and a small box wrapped in some golden and silver sheet. Mom placed the candle on the cake carefully after wishing me.
I did the cake cutting thing and then gave all of them a piece of it. But unfortunately instead of going into our esophagus cake ended up everywhere in my room. On my bed, study table, my mirror, floor and on the wood on my closet.
Thankfully the walls were fine. Yes, we had a cake fight and then all of us were drenched in chocolate cream.
“You know, instead of wasting it I can use it as a chocolate facial” yes these dumb words came out of Chase’s mouth as he started scrubbing his whole face with the chocolate cream which was already present on his forehead due to our cake fight. He started massaging his cheeks and then his chin.
“Ewww” All replied in unison except Claire.
“NO. Instead you can eat it.” Claire said while taking some on the cream on her nose in her index finger and licked it.
“Remind me never to go with your friends. They’re too gross.” Lavy said, she looked like she can puke any minute now.
“Stop it man” Raymond said while spatting on the back of Chase’s head hard. While me and Lavy stopped Claire.
Yes, my friends are too gross. For the first time in my life I couldn’t agree less with Lavy.
But no matter how they were. They are my friends. My life looked complete.
What else can you ask for, right?
I have a loving boyfriend, amazing yet idiotic group of friends, sweetest ever sister and a perfect mom.
It didn’t take too long for everyone to leave because
1. Tomorrow we had school.
2. Raymond and Daniel came here driving and they had to be back before five in the morning, so they left in a hurry.
Daniel gave me tight hug and wished me last time before heading towards the passenger’s seat while Raymond gave me a quick peck on my lips.
“I’m gonna miss you, sweet cheeks.” Raymond whispered to me before sitting on the driver’s seat. With a small yet genuine smile on Raymond’s lips he stepped on gas and went in the other direction.
Chase left right after them. Claire was here for a sleep over, so we both headed to my bedroom.
The thought of Raymond being Mr. Xavier’s son, practically my boss’ son was quiet anxious. Claire was asleep on the bed and I was lying on the sofa as my laptop rested on my lap.
I was so intrigued by this new discovery that I couldn’t keep myself from fishing for more information on Amanda Coprorations, so I accessed the easiest way of fissuring information. I googled it.
Amanda Corporations previously known as AMELL Corporations pvt. ltd., is a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation which promotes the work of scientist in the fields of Particle Physics, Solid Physics, Nuclear Phyics, Chemical Engineering and Pharmaceuticals.
HISTORY:
It was created and run by two partners, Dr. Xavier Reynolds and Dr. David Esinberg. It is currently run by Dr. Xavier Reynolds. AMELL, now known as Amanda Corporations, was started in 2006 and soon it was awarded one of the most prestigious universities, the Stanford University as the Most Innovative Research Foundation. Later, it got affiliated to universities like MIT, Princeton University, Oxford, Yale University and Cornell University.
I couldn’t believe it for a minute. Dr. david Esinberg! It was Dad. How could it be possible? Dad was a scientist, sure, but he never told us about starting a company or any company for that matter.
These words in this article cannot be incorrect, right?
This means that Amanda Corporation belongs to Dad. I need to contact him in any possible way. I mean, he cannot start a multibillion-dollar multinational company and disappear!
If this was true then, I will definitely try to win the award, I was hoping that maybe Dad would come to know about the award and maybe he will finally be proud of me, for once. Maybe he will even come to meet us, who knows?
As the day passed I was more and more dedicated towards winning the award. Especially after what Raymond did for me today. I can’t believe they drove for three freaking hours just for my birthday.
